BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to an organometallic compound, a composition containing the organometallic compound, and an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to devices in the art.

A typical organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Various types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the FIGURE, which is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects of the present description. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly in contact with the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

includes deuterium may be confirmed by analyzing the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 through a ¹H NMR spectrum or analyzing a molecular weight of the organometallic compound by using a molecular weight measurement apparatus such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) apparatus.

A compound, which has the same backbone as the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 but does not include deuterium (hereinafter, referred to as a “first standard compound”), is prepared. A ¹H NMR spectrum of the first standard compound and a ¹H NMR spectrum of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 are obtained.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is neutral and may not have a salt form including an anion and a cation.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be selected from Compounds 1 to 10, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

A maximum emission wavelength (experimental value) of the organometallic compound may be in a range of about 440 nanometers (nm) to about 465 nm, for example, about 440 nm to about 460 nm. When the maximum emission wavelength is in a range of about 440 nm to about 465 nm, an organic light-emitting device emitting deep blue light may be provided.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 essentially includes CY₁ and CY₂ at positions defined herein.

Thus, the organometallic compound may have a natural population analysis (NPA) charge value of about 0.6 or less, for example, about 0.4 to about 0.55. The NPA charge value is evaluated by a density functional theory (DFT) method using a Gaussian program that is structurally optimized at a level of B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), and NPA charge values of Compounds 1 to 10 are shown in Table 1:

TABLE 1 Compound No. NPA charge value 1 0.48 2 0.45 3 0.47 4 0.51 5 0.47 6 0.47 7 0.48 8 0.51 9 0.46 10 0.47

Since the organometallic compound having the NPA charge value in the above-described range has excellent heat resistance and/or decomposition resistance, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, which includes the organometallic compound, may have a long lifespan.

On the other hand, a “carbon atom C” in Formula 1 is essentially bonded to a cyano group (see Formula 1′). Thus, since the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has a deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level (that is, a low HOMO energy level or a large absolute value of a HOMO energy level), the organometallic compound may have a high triplet energy level. Therefore, the use of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may make it possible to emit deep blue light having excellent color purity.

Also, in one or more embodiments, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may include at least one deuterium. Compared with a single bond between carbon and hydrogen, a single bond between carbon and deuterium has a stronger bond strength and a shorter bond length. Thus, the deuterium-containing organometallic compound may have higher thermal stability than the deuterium-free organometallic compound. Therefore, radicalization of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 slowly progresses due to heat and/or electric field generated when the organic light-emitting device is kept and/or driven, and thus, an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound may have a longer lifespan.

Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, R₁₄ in Formula 1 may not be hydrogen, or may be, for example, a deuterium-containing substituent. The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a high lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level and a high triplet (T₁) energy level. Thus, the use of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may make it possible to emit blue light having excellent color purity.

HOMO energy levels, LUMO energy levels, T₁ energy levels, emission wavelengths and maximum emission wavelengths (λ_(max)) of some of the organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1 were evaluated by using a Gaussian 09 program for optimizing a molecular structure through DFT based on B3LYP. Evaluation results thereof are shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Emission Compound wavelength (s) No. HOMO (eV) LUMO (eV) T₁ (eV) (nm) 1 −5.40 −1.40 2.73 467 (λ_(max)), 492 2 −5.35 −1.31 2.74 465 (λ_(max)), 492 3 −5.30 −1.31 2.77 460 (λ_(max)), 484 4 −5.28 −1.25 2.78 453 (λ_(max)), 480 5 −5.28 −1.33 2.70 470 (λ_(max)), 497 6 −5.36 −1.52 2.63 478 (λ_(max)), 509 7 −5.81 −1.77 2.75 458 (λ_(max)) 8 −5.38 −1.34 2.75 457 (λ_(max)), 486 9 −5.37 −1.50 2.73 468 (λ_(max)), 492 10 −5.25 −1.45 2.70 471 (λ_(max)), 497

On the other hand, in synthesizing an organometallic compound that is represented by Formula 1 but includes at least one deuterium, if at least one of the organometallic compound is deuterated, an organometallic compound in which hydrogen is not substituted with deuterium (that is, an organometallic compound represented by Formula 2 as follows) may also be synthesized, simultaneously. Thus, a composition containing the organometallic compound, which includes organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 and includes at least one deuterium (hereinafter, a “first organometallic compound”) and further includes an organometallic compound represented by Formula 2 (hereinafter, a “second organometallic compound”), may be provided:

Descriptions for the first organometallic compound are the same as described in Formula 1, except that at least one deuterium is included therein and descriptions for the second organometallic compound are the same as described in Formula 1, except that deuterium is not included therein.

A deuteration rate of the composition containing the organometallic compound may be about 50% or more. The deuteration rate may be calculated by using Equation 2: deuteration rate (%)=n _(D2)/(n _(H2) +n _(D2))×100.  Equation 2

In Equation 2,

-   -   n_(H2) represents the sum of a total number of hydrogens         included in the deuterium-containing substituents in the first         organometallic compound and a total number of hydrogens included         in the deuterium-free substituent of the second organometallic         compound corresponding to the deuterium-containing substituent         in the first organometallic compound, and     -   n_(D2) represents a total number of deuterium atoms included in         the deuterium-containing substituents in the first         organometallic compound.

When a substituent indicated by a dashed box in the left compound of the following compounds is a deuterium-containing substituent, a deuterium-free substituent corresponding to the deuterium-containing substituent in the right compound may mean a substituent indicated by a dashed box in the right compound. That is, in the present disclosure, substituents bonded to carbon at the same position in two compounds that differ from each other only in terms of the presence or absence of isotope are defined as “corresponding” substituents.

For example, if the first organometallic compound includes two deuterium-containing substituents, n_(D2) means the total number of deuterium atoms included in the two deuterium-containing substituents. Also, n_(H2) means the sum of the number of hydrogens included in the two deuterium-containing substituents and the number of hydrogens included in the deuterium-free substituent of the second organometallic compound corresponding to the two deuterium-containing substituents.

In an embodiment, the deuteration rate may be about 70% or more, about 90% or more, about 95% or more, about 96% or more, about 97% or more, about 98% or more, or about 99% or more, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Synthesis methods of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Synthesis Examples provided below. The composition containing the organometallic compound including the first organometallic compound and the second organometallic compound may be obtained by an incomplete deuteration in synthesizing the first organometallic compound, not by mixing the first organometallic compound and the second organometallic compound.

Synthesis methods of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Synthesis Examples provided below.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 or a composition including the organometallic compound may be suitable for use in an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, for example, for use as a dopant in an emission layer of the organic layer. Thus, another aspect of the present description provides an organic light-emitting device that includes:

-   -   a first electrode;     -   a second electrode; and     -   an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the         second electrode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission         layer and at least one of the organometallic compound         represented by Formula 1.

The organic light-emitting device may have, due to the inclusion of an organic layer including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 or the composition including the organometallic compound, high efficiency, a long lifespan, and a high color purity.

The organometallic compound of Formula 1 or the composition including the organometallic compound may be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device. For example, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 or the composition including the organometallic compound may be included in the emission layer. In this embodiment, the organometallic compound or the composition including the organometallic compound may act as a dopant, and the emission layer may further include a host (that is, an amount of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 or the composition including the organometallic compound is smaller than an amount of the host). In this embodiment, the dopant may emit blue light.

The expression “(an organic layer) includes at least one of organometallic compounds” as used herein may include an embodiment in which “(an organic layer) includes identical organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1” and an embodiment in which “(an organic layer) includes two or more different organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1.”

For example, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, only Compound 1. In this regard, Compound 1 may be included in an emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In one or more embodiments, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, Compound 1 and Compound 2. In this embodiment, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may be included in an identical layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may both be included in an emission layer).

The first electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode; or the first electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode, and the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.

In an embodiment, in the organic light-emitting device, the first electrode is an anode, and the second electrode is a cathode, and the organic layer further includes a hole transport region disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, and the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a buffer layer or any combination thereof and the electron transport region includes a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer or any combination thereof.

The term “organic layer” as used herein refers to a single layer and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode of the organic light-emitting device. The “organic layer” may include, in addition to an organic compound, an organometallic complex including metal.

The FIGURE is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment. Hereinafter, the structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment will be described in connection with the FIGURE. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19, which are sequentially stacked.

A substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. For use as the substrate, any substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices may be used, and the substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate, each having excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance.

The first electrode 11 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode 11 on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for forming the first electrode 11 may be selected from materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. The first electrode 11 may be a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. The material for forming the first electrode may be, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), and zinc oxide (ZnO). In one or more embodiments, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used as the material for forming the first electrode.

The first electrode 11 may have a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure including two or more layers. For example, the first electrode 11 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but the structure of the first electrode 110 is not limited thereto.

The organic layer 15 is disposed on the first electrode 11.

The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.

The hole transport region may be disposed between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer.

The hole transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, and a buffer layer.

The hole transport region may include only either a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer. In one or more embodiments, the hole transport region may have a hole injection layer/hole transport layer structure or a hole injection layer/hole transport layer/electron blocking layer structure, which are sequentially stacked in this stated order from the first electrode 11.

A hole injection layer may be formed on the first electrode 11 by using one or more suitable methods selected from vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition.

When a hole injection layer is formed by vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions may vary according to a compound that is used to form the hole injection layer, and the structure and thermal characteristics of the hole injection layer. For example, the deposition conditions may include a deposition temperature of about 100° C. to about 500° C., a vacuum pressure of about 10⁻⁸ torr to about 10⁻³ torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 Å/sec to about 100 Å/sec. However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

When the hole injection layer is formed using spin coating, coating conditions may vary according to the material used to form the hole injection layer, and the structure and thermal properties of the hole injection layer. For example, a coating speed may be from about 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) to about 5,000 rpm, and a temperature at which a heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be from about 80° C. to about 200° C. However, the coating conditions are not limited thereto.

Conditions for forming a hole transport layer and an electron blocking layer may be understood by referring to conditions for forming the hole injection layer.

The hole transport region may include at least one selected from m-MTDATA, TDATA, 2-TNATA, NPB, p-NPB, TPD, Spiro-TPD, Spiro-NPB, methylated-NPB, TAPC, HMTPD, 4,4′,4″-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA), polyaniline/dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (PANI/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (PANI/CSA), polyaniline/poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PANI/PSS), a compound represented by Formula 201 below, and a compound represented by Formula 202 below:

Then, an electron transport region may be disposed on the emission layer.

The electron transport region may include at least one selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

For example, the electron transport region may have a hole blocking layer/electron transport layer/electron injection layer structure or an electron transport layer/electron injection layer structure, but the structure of the electron transport region is not limited thereto. The electron transport layer may have a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure including two or more different materials.

Conditions for forming the hole blocking layer, the electron transport layer, and the electron injection layer which constitute the electron transport region may be understood by referring to the conditions for forming the hole injection layer.

A thickness of the electron transport layer may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 150 Å to about 500 Å. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is understood that when the thickness of the electron transport layer is within the range described above, the electron transport layer may have satisfactory electron transport characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

Also, the electron transport layer may further include, in addition to the materials described above, a metal-containing material.

The metal-containing material may include a Li complex. The Li complex may include, for example, Compound ET-D1 (lithium 8-hydroxyquinolate, LiQ) or ET-D2.

The second electrode 19 is disposed on the organic layer 15. The second electrode 19 may be a cathode. A material for forming the second electrode 19 may be selected from metal, an alloy, an electrically conductive compound, and a combination thereof, which have a relatively low work function. For example, lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used as a material for forming the second electrode 19. In one or more embodiments, to manufacture a top-emission type light-emitting device, a transmissive electrode formed using ITO or IZO may be used as the second electrode 19.
